In Netflix’s ‘Files of the Unexplained’ episode titled ‘Government’s UFO Conspiracy’, various government and military personnel recount their encounters with strange and inexplicable phenomena, which they believe involved extraterrestrial beings. They also discuss the government’s responses to their experiences, suggesting attempts at covering up the truth. Among those sharing their stories is Terry Lovelace, whose account is particularly unsettling on multiple levels. It is a story that is worth hearing.
Terry Lovelace Had a Strange Encounter in 1977
In 1977, Terry Lovelace served as a non-commissioned officer at Whiteman Air Force Base in western Missouri. Trained as an EMT and medic in the Air Force, he had formed a close friendship with a fellow serviceman named Toby. Seeking a break from their usual routine, the two decided to go camping on the night of June 11, 1977. While settling in for the night, Toby noticed a peculiar light in the sky and drew Terry’s attention to it. Describing it, Terry said, “On the horizon, there was a triangle made of very bright stars. They were all the same luminosity. The three stars rotated clockwise about 120 degrees.”
He added, “I think what we were looking at was a triangular-shaped craft, and it was clear it was coming in our direction. And this thing did a complete somersault and it did that twice.” He described the object as being the size of a Walmart with windows emitting light. A bright white light, about the size of a softball, emanated from the center of the structure and descended onto their camping ground. Suddenly, both Terry and Toby found themselves inside the object. Despite hearing Toby’s screams, Terry was unable to move anything but his eyes.
Inside, he observed six or seven beings standing in a line, dressed in tan-colored flight suits with an orange patch on their shoulders. These beings then transported Terry and Toby to a white room with a domed ceiling, where Terry noticed an X-ray machine. He didn’t provide many details about what occurred afterward but mentioned waking up to flashing orange and red lights outside their camp tent. When he questioned Toby about the events, he received no response. They returned to their car around dawn, both experiencing severe pain, burning eyes, and dehydration.
Terry’s wife took him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with flash burns. On the third day of his hospital stay, an OSI agent approached Terry, instructing him to remain silent about his experience. Toby was instructed to relocate to Japan, while Terry was forbidden from further communication with him. During their final meeting, they reassured each other that their shared experience was real. Terry Lovelace continued his service and pursued further education by attending Cooley Law School. Afterward, he embarked on a career as a defense attorney, eventually holding the prestigious position of Assistant Attorney General for the State of Vermont.

Terry Lovelace attempted to move on with his life and suppress the memory until 2012, when he began experiencing persistent knee pain while running. Upon visiting a doctor, his X-ray report showed that a small piece of metal with two thread-like structures attached to it was lodged in his knee. Since Terry had never been in combat and lacked any surgical scars, he couldn’t comprehend how it ended up there. Following this discovery, Terry decided to write his book, ‘Incidents at Devil’s Den: A True Story,’ in 2017 and began publicly sharing his experiences. His goal was to exert pressure on the government to provide answers. However, when he requested his medical records, he found them to be scanty and inadequately detailed, adding to his frustration and suspicion.
Terry has continued to share his story and advocate for awareness about his experiences. In addition to his first book, he has authored two more books: ‘Devil’s Den: The Reckoning’ in 2020 and ‘Free Fall: An American Near-Death Experience’ in 2023. As an Amazon Bestselling Author, he actively shares his story on various platforms and engages with different audiences. Currently residing in Dallas, Texas, Terry has been happily married to his wife for nearly 50 years, and together they have raised two children and enjoy being grandparents. Despite leading a seemingly normal life, the profound impact of his encounters from years ago continues to stay with him, shaping his perspective and journey.
